The latest company to release a new content delivery network is Reliance Communications. Based in India, Reliance is one of the country’s leading CDMA and GSM service providers. They have announced the launch of their Fast Edge content delivery network. Being billed as the first ‘made in India’ CDN, Fast Edge will provide Reliance’s customers in India with blistering content delivery thanks to the high speed cache servers being used by the company.

“By building Fast Edge across the length and breadth of the Reliance network, the distance for content to travel to the eyeball can be slashed from 5,000 miles to 10 miles, effectively eradicating the middle mile bottleneck,” said Braham Singh, SVP of Product Management, RCOM (Enterprise) and GCX. “and because the content is cached and delivered across our local network, any rapid exponential growth in the number of users concurrently accessing will not automatically lead to middle mile bandwidth issues. In other words, content can now go “viral” across India without impact on users.”
